I'm sure it's been mentioned and buried but extended warranty benefit goes away next month which sucks
Uhh yeah I have an Amex, this is not true lol
I'm sure citi fought hard in the bidding process to beat Amex to get the Costco account. Part of the terms were probably to offer better benefits for the customer....

SAMS club master card by Synchrony bank offers 5% on gas.

I haven't looked into whether that card can be kept if the membership lapses. Do you know by chance?

I do know the Costco Visa will be canceled without a membership.

any news on foreign transaction fee? I can't find it
I have the citi costco card, just got back from Amsterdam and I don't see any small fees for its usage over there on my transactions page, just the difference from euro->usd.

I think they did away with this. I asked Citi before buying the MacBook Pro. If I used the card, I would no longer get that 3rd and 4th year warranty.

Can a Costco manager/exec confirm?

I reread the terms recently - it doesn't add to existing warranty, but rather makes any warranty instead be 2y.

So if you buy something with a warranty of 2y or more it does nothing. But if you buy something with a 6mo warranty it becomes 2y

Nope, it simply doubles manufacturer warranty. Your reading comprehension is atrocious. Try again.

Citibank is the worst bank! I know someone who got $40k hacked from their Citibank checking account and Citibank didn't do shit! Don't trust this bank even if it's for a credit card! I would never support such a shady bank, cannot stress that enough.

The person you know is either an idiot or a liar ? Zero liability on checking accounts like credit card accounts.

Since the card is only for active members, the card will get canceled by Citi when your membership expires and you have not renewed it. It's not immediate but I heard different times from members when their cards got canceled and they had to renew their membership and reapply for the Citi card when membership lapsed.

Even if you get the $60 Costco membership, I strongly believe that it's worth the benefits that the card offers. One big discount option that many members forget is the CostcoAuto.com where you type in your active membership number, your zip code, the make of your car and you can email/print 15% off parts, service and accessories – up to $500 per visit – at participating service centers nationwide.

https://www.costcoauto.com/parts_and_service

Remember when you receive your cashback in February, you can go to any Costco warehouse cashier (regular checkout lanes) with the barcode voucher in your statement/email/Citi app and actually ask to cash it. They'll scan your membership, the Citi cashback voucher barcode, and give you bills/coins.

< Included with Your Card >
Warranties run out. Get an extra 24 months added to your warranty when you purchase items at least in part with your Citi card and/or your Costco credit card reward certificate. In the event of a covered failure, the item will be repaired or you will be reimbursed up to the amount charged on your Citi card (including Costco credit card reward certificate) or the cost to replace the item, whichever is less, up to $10,000.

< Some Important Details >
Coverage begins when the manufacturer's warranty, or an extended warranty you bought, expires. In no event will total coverage exceed seven years from the purchase date.

< What's Covered >
Purchases made by you using your Citi card and/or your Costco credit card reward certificate.

< Example of What's Not Covered >

But remember that this is manufacturer warranty (no physical damage covered), whereas AppleCare+ (which I personally recommend) promptly covers physical damage.. also, if my MacBook has a covered issue then I can go to an Apple Store and have it fixed or replaced immediately versus filling out a form, have the damaged assessed by an authorized vendor, get the assessment back to the card provider, and then wait for a decision. Nonetheless...

Actually, according to their benefits explanations, terms and conditions on this really insightful PDF (with warranty timeline charts): https://www.cardbenefits.citi.com...coCon.ashx, it ADDS two years on whatever the manufacturer warranty is.
  • 6-month Manufacturer Warranty = 30 months of Total Protection.
  • 12-month Manufacturer Warranty = 36 months of Total Protection.
  • Variable duration of manufacturer warranty: 24 months parts and 12 months of labor = 48 months parts and 36 months labor of Total Protection.
  • 12-month Manufacturer Warranty with a 12-month customer-purchased warranty = 48 months of Total Protection

We will extend the manufacturer's warranty for an additional 24 Months. If You purchase an extended warranty, Our coverage begins at the expiration of that warranty. In the event of a covered failure We will repair or replace the item or reimburse up to the amount charged on Your Citi Card and/or Costco credit card reward certifcate (excluding shipping and handling) or $10,000, whichever is less. Total coverage up to a maximum of 7 years from the purchase date.

WHAT'S NOT COVERED
Coverage does not apply to the following items:
  • Boats, cars, aircraft or any other motorized land, air or water vehicles and their original equipment. Tires are not covered.
  • Services (such as product installation, repairs, maintenance or diagnostics) unless covered under the manufacturer's warranty.
  • Used, antique or pre-owned items.
  • Items purchased for resale, professional or commercial use.
  • Land or buildings; housing properties.
  • Plants and live animals.
  • Items that do not come with a manufacturer's warranty.

Just got approved for the card, here are the changes:

"The following is a summary of changes that are being made to your card benefits:

Effective January 22, 2023, the Extended Warranty benefit will be discontinued and will no longer be provided for purchases made on or after that date. Coverage for purchases made before that date will continue to be available, and you may continue to file for benefits in accordance with the current benefit terms."

Dang. I did hear about the discontinuance of this back in summer 2022. They were saying it'd go away by end of October. I guess they pushed to 01/22/2023. Frown

Ugghh...that's unfortunate. Like many here, I'm not a Citibank fan, but have this card for the Costco benefit and have used it for the warranty benefit over the last couple of years for items that were covered by their extended warranty. WIth this going away, most of those purchases will go to another card.

Anybody aware of any other card that offers (and will continue to offer) this type of extended warranty coverage? Amex has their 90 day purchase protection, but that's different coverage than this extended warranty period.

Almost everyone does 1 year extended (including Amex)

This was the last free citi card to do the 2 year warranty- I believe there's still paid ones that do it... (my prestige does for example though that's no longer taking new applications last I knew)

Citi cancelled extended warranty on many of its cards long ago. I don't use my citi cards for anything that has warranty.
